K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House vs K&H Thermo Mod Cat Shelter

Both are K&H outdoor heated shelters with a heated pad on part of the floor, so the choice comes down to size and shape. The Extra-Wide Kitty House is the bigger, taller barn-style box with two flap-covered exits, a washable cover and a one-year warranty, which suits several cats or one large cat on a porch or in a barn. The Thermo Mod is a lighter, lower modern shelter with a 25-watt MET-listed pad and a waterproof 600 denier nylon shell, better for a single cat or a tight spot. Owners of the Kitty House line praise the warmth and easy tool-free assembly; the Thermo Mod trades some room and the second exit for a simpler, more compact build.

• Choose the K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House Extra-Wide if you have two or more cats, a large cat, or want two exits with flaps and a removable washable cover.
• Choose the K&H Thermo Mod Cat Shelter if you need a compact, waterproof shelter for one cat or a small animal and prefer a simpler modern design.
